<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lardan, post: 8427516, member: 138663&quot;]Please don&#039;t think I&#039;m trying to start an argument. This something I really want to do, but I don&#039;t want to ruin the coins.&nbsp; As for me don&#039;t hesitate to tell me truly what think, I&#039;m thick skinned.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure a museum would be the best place to check. Susan Maltby, a museum curator specializing in coins, stated many museums lacquer their coins to reduce maintenance costs for polishing and cleaning.&nbsp; I also read the Smithsonian polishes their coins or at least did in the past because americans like shiny coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I thought all cars are now painted with acrylic polyurethane (enamel) due to having a higher degree of UV resistance compared to lacquer. I do know, according to the internet, this enamel has no PVCs.&nbsp; But I do not know if it has any other gasses that could be harmful.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I am so cautious about this is an article I read ten or twelve years ago. The article said third party grading services do not guarenteed to be air tight and some gasses can permeate an air tite. Another reason I want to do this is because their is only maybe thirty five to forty coins more I want. I would like to have them set-up for my kids and wife afterwards.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
